1757 George II - John Langlands I of Newcastle Large Water or Beer Jug with Arms of John Baskerville of Woolley

This is an extraordinary and scarce George II Newcastle silver cup with the arms of John Baskerville, Esq of Woolley Grange (now a luxury hotel). The cup was produced by John Langlands I in the first year he was registered, so a very early work for him. At some time later, it was owned by Thomas Steele Nichols and is sold with his calling card contained in it as well as a lovely felt bag from Wyler of Manhattan, New York. Well decorated, it has a sparrow beak spout, a pedestal foot, and a lovely S-form hoof handle. Condition is extraordinarily good with a couple of small dings and the handle is pushed in a smidge (could be straightened easily enough). Marked well for Newcastle, Sterling, the IL mark for Langlands, and the letter mark S in shield for 1757. Monogrammed: G R to E W Dimensions: 6" tall foot to rim; 6.75" spout to handle. Weight: 497 grams Check out some of my other English sterling silver holloware here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DCSILVERSHOP?ref=shop_sugg§ion_id=6409956 Or just browse around the shop! https://www.etsy.com/shop/DCSILVERSHOP
